Such measurements also could enable effective realtime system monitoring and control, which are considered to be the key to preventing wide-sc...

As electricity demand continues to grow and renewable energy increases its penetration in the power grid, realtime state tracking becomes essential for system monitoring and control. Recent developments in phasor technology make realtime dynamic state estimation possible with high-speed timesynchronized data provided by synchronized Phasor Measurement Units (PMU). In this paper we present a two...

In this paper, a novel neuro-fuzzy based method combined with a feature selection technique is proposed for online dynamic voltage stability status prediction of power system. This technique uses synchronized phasors measured by phasor measurement units (PMUs) in a wide-area measurement system. In order to minimize the number of neuro-fuzzy inputs, training time and complication of neuro-fuzzy ...

The wide area monitoring of power systems is implemented at a central control center to coordinate the actions of local controllers. Phasor measurement units (PMUs) are used for the collection of data in real time for the smart grid energy systems. Intrusion detection and cyber security of network are important requirements for maintaining the integrity of wide area monitoring systems. The intr...

Complex power systems need better observability and visualization capabilities to handle critical situations effectively. Synchro-phasor measurements provide intra second visibility to power system dynamics and enable faster control actions. A Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) measures the voltage and current phasors (angle and magnitude) at a bus in a power system. In the literature, many methods ...

The security and reliability of GPS receivers are critical to Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs). These devices provide synchronized voltage and current phasor measurements in power systems based on GPS timing. However, due to the unencrypted nature and low received signal to noise ratio of civil GPS signals, jamming and spoofing attacks on GPS receivers can pose a risk to both the position and ti...
